With professional staff present, Ji Minxiu made his escape and returned to the private room.
"President Ji, is the matter resolved?" Upon seeing him approach, President Chen immediately greeted him cheerfully.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, things happened suddenly, and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Ji Minxiu said humbly and with poise after taking his seat.
This performance drew approval from President Chen; the young man was neither arrogant nor humble, yet also knew how to behave politely. He was no ordinary person.
So he smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, you're too kind. I just happened to have some time to properly appreciate this lotus bowl, and I found that it seems to be exactly the same as the one at the charity auction before?"
Ji Minxiu nodded, "That's right. This lotus bowl and that one were originally a pair, but unfortunately they were delivered to me one after the other, so they missed the chance to appear together."
"I see." Upon hearing this, President Chen's eyes lit up.
Ji Minxiu's words revealed quite a lot!
Not only do we have ways to get these great things, but we can also get them as soon as possible!
That means that if similar good things come along in the future, Ji Minxiu will be able to obtain them as well.
For someone of his status, money is just a number; all that's left is his hobby of collecting antiques.
If Ji Minxiu can get more treasures, then we should definitely befriend him.
Of course, he understood the purpose of Ji Minxiu's invitation to dinner. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's not beat around the bush. I really like this lotus bowl. Mr. Ji, why don't you name a price?"
Ji Minxiu shook his head and said with a faint smile, "If I were doing this for money, I would have just sent it to the auction. Why would I send it to President Chen? The saying goes, 'A fine sword is given to a hero.' To measure it with money is to humiliate it."
Upon hearing this, President Chen knew that it was impossible to repay the favor with money directly. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I still need to consider what President Ji wants. This matter is of great importance and cannot tolerate the slightest mistake."
“Of course, I’m here mainly to make friends with President Chen.” After saying that, Ji Minxiu pushed the lotus bowl in front of President Chen.
After hesitating for a moment, President Chen couldn't help but place his hand on the lotus bowl and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, alright, if Xiao Xiu doesn't mind, just call me Uncle Chen. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
The meaning is quite clear: even if this collaboration fails, we will create other opportunities for Ji Minxiu next time.
"It's my honor, Uncle Chen. Let me toast you." Ji Minxiu said, picking up his wine glass and drinking it all in one gulp.
"What a capacity for alcohol! You're truly a promising young man. With a son like you, Old Ji, how could he worry about the group having no successor?" President Chen couldn't hide the fondness in his eyes.
He hadn't paid much attention to this illegitimate son of the Ji family before, only wondering why the Ji family, which already had an eldest legitimate son, would still go to great lengths to raise an illegitimate child.
Now I finally understand. That old fox Ji Guochang has a truly sharp eye; his youngest son is clearly the most outstanding.
The meal was a success, with both hosts and guests thoroughly enjoying themselves.
"Boss, we just gave away that lotus bowl for free?" Assistant Lin complained in the car, looking pained.
When he learned that there was another lotus bowl, he was incredibly shocked and felt that the cooperation was definitely going to be a sure thing.
Unexpectedly, this meal turned out to be just a meal, but they also received a bowl worth 200 million yuan as a free gift.
That's such a waste!
"Of course it's not a free gift. Even if this cooperation doesn't work out, having Mr. Chen as a connection will make my future path much smoother."
Ji Minxiu looked at the neon lights flashing past the window, his eyes deep and thoughtful. "Don't forget who President Chen is."
“Mr. Chen… Oh right, I forgot he has a government background.”
Thinking of this, Assistant Lin's eyes lit up. "With him protecting you in the future, won't everything you do be smooth sailing?"
“Not too stupid,” Ji Minxiu affirmed.
"Hehe, I've been following you for so long, I should have learned something from you."
Assistant Lin smiled sheepishly, then couldn't help but sigh, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is in two days. If President Chen can agree to cooperate, that would be great. You would be a great contributor and would definitely be able to attend the family banquet."
"It's alright. With Mr. Chen's connection, attending the family banquet is only a matter of time."
At this moment, Ji Minxiu was no longer in a hurry. After a pause, he said, "Have someone send a cell phone suitable for a girl, with a stylus."
Yes, this phone was bought for Yun Zhourong.
He also considered buying a tablet, but later felt it was too bulky and inconvenient to carry or hide.
Modern smartphones are fully functional, and can do everything a tablet can do.
As for the stylus, it was chosen because Yun Zhourong doesn't know pinyin yet, so she can only write by hand.
Upon hearing that it was a women's watch, Assistant Lin's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but ask gossipily, "Boss, is it for the girl who gave you the watch before?"
Ji Minxiu simply said coolly, "Just do your job and ask less questions."
"oh…"
Assistant Lin quickly shut up, but he was already certain in his heart that it was definitely the same one as before!
When Ji Minxiu arrived home, the phone had already been delivered.
It's the latest top-of-the-line model, mint green, which looks very fresh and elegant.
Ji Minxiu was satisfied, but for some inexplicable reason, he said to his assistant Lin, "Go and apply for another SIM card for me."
Although he might never need this SIM card, he still wanted to prepare one for it.
"yes."
Assistant Lin hurried to do it, but he was even more excited inside.
Using the boss's ID to open the card means the boss will handle everything from topping up phone credit in the future. I didn't expect the boss to be so thoughtful.
He's really good at pursuing girls!
Unaware of Assistant Lin's wild imagination, Ji Minxiu returned home and found he still had plenty of time.
After quickly washing up, I put the prepared food, the medicine for treating Madam Yun's coronary heart disease, and the mannequins for learning CPR on the sofa before starting to save things to my phone.
First, there was a video about cardiopulmonary resuscitation, followed by a video introducing the current situation in China.
There was the demise of the feudal imperial system, the founding of the People's Republic of China, and now people live in peace and contentment, enjoying equal human rights.
There is the economic take-off brought about by reform and opening up, there are skyscrapers, airplanes and cars, and there is also the exploration of interstellar space.
In addition, videos about cotton from planting to processing into various products were also included.
In the middle of the process, Assistant Lin handed over the SIM card.
"Everything's alright today, you can go back and rest now. You've worked hard, I'll give you a bonus tomorrow," Ji Minxiu said.
"Thank you, boss!"
Assistant Lin was overjoyed and mentally praised the boss lady he had never met.
When we meet again, I'll definitely do my best, since he used to work overtime all the time and the boss never thought of giving him a bonus!
You still have to follow the boss lady to get meat!
